Default Extra power!!

Hey guys, I just bought an 06 heritage and I have started changing the look for me. I just recently sold my BigDog Mastiff with a 117 S&S motor which had alot of power and was LOUDDDD! What I am looking to do is get a little extra power out of the 88 without having to change alot with the motor. I realize I will not be able to get the power of a 117 without spending alot of money but I am just looking for any little changes to help give me a little more power. If you have made any changes on your bike and liked the results please let me know. My bike is not fuel injected. Thanks!

Cams, intake and tuner upgrade, and a good 2-1 pipe will go a long way in accomplishing that. You could also put a 95" kit on there to really wake it up.

Cams will help. How much do you want to spend?

Thanks, I dont really have a price limit I have to say under because I have money left over from the bigdog but I dont want to spend so much that I take such a hit when I sell it. I dont keep them long before I want to try a different style. What size cam would probably work best?

You'll get a ton of responses, but andrews 26 seems to get a good review.

cams for sure, but I can tell you that getting your heads done will make a huge difference. I know lots of guys running really strong 88's and 95's that make great power with head work.
